Chibi Zoruru and Zeroro

"You can borrow my Teddy."

Now, wouldn't you be a tad upset if a person forgot something like that?
My personal pet theory is that at least some of the bitter thoughts Zoruru harbor toward Dororo are founded in childhood events, perhaps like this. Or maybe little Zoruru just stalked Zeroro out of admiration or something and naturally was never noticed. And that made little Zoruru sad. And then bitter. And then he grew up into a cranky, pissed off adult. Wheee!

I don't know how Chibi Zoruru ended up all shiny and silvery, but I kinda like it.
